    Are you the person sitting in the corner of the classroom during the break time hoping no one will come up and talk to you? If this sounds like you, you're not alone. If you want to become more socially confident, follow the advice.

    Accept your personality. Many people happen to be introverted, meaning that you're more comfortable spending time alone. If this sounds like you, don't force yourself to completely become an outgoing, social person. Doing so can lead to stress, worry, and even heart disease. Instead, spend time in social situations you already enjoy and try to have meaningful conversations.By accepting your introverted nature, you can focus on the quality of your social communications.

    Understand the importance of confidence. You can become socially confident by attracting other people in a way that interests them and makes them feel heard. These skills, are known as social ability. Practicing social ability can create chances for yourself to get close to others.

    Avoid negative (消极的) thoughts. If you don't see yourself as socially confident, it can be easy to look for things that confirms your thoughts. Catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, and ask yourself what you see or hear can prove the thought. For example, imagine you're thinking, "I know everyone here thinks I'm boring because I have nothing interesting to say." Stop thinking that and ask yourself what proves the negative thought.
